chipping away at our rights
« on: February 06, 2013, 10:47:49 PM »
Alot of the anti gun activists and non gun owners feel there is no use for the ar's and ak's and other firearms.  Congress  says they will just ban CERTAIN TYPES of weapons (only the scary looking ones) and it wont infringe on our second amendment.  Well I wonder how those same people would feel if our first amendment was at stake?  what if you could have the freedom of speech but you cant talk about certain things like our govt, how its run, our president etc...or anything else that would hurt the morality of the ppl?  essentially its the same thing, theyre saying you can have guns just not the scary army looking guns.  well you can have the freedom of speech you just cant talk about or publlicize certain things.  would anti gun ppl be singing the same tune then? we gotta make them realize if they do it once, can they do it again!?

Tell them guns ARE part of the First Amendment

From my earlier posting

     http://www.azcentral.com/opinions/articles/20130205gottlieb-guns-first-amendment.html

You can also tell them Because of the First Amendment, many proposed laws may already be moot

Because of the internet and Metal 3D printing.  Plans and How Tos are already out there FREE

and soon anyone with $$$ can make their own UNregistered firearms.

UNintended consequences.

First Ammendment rights are already selective.  Just ask Occupy and the measures passed post Occupy.  You now cannot lawfully assemble within certain proximities of certain people.  So you can say what you want, just over there where no one is paying attention :shaka:
It is what it is.
